Berlin Part IV: Wanderings

On our last day in Berlin, Santos and I decided to retrace our steps and revisit all the places that we had wanted to get a closer look at/take more photos of.  We started off at the Brandenburg Gate, then followed the same route that we took with our tour guide.  I think this is a really good way to get to know a city in a short time period and on a bidget - do a free walking tour one, then revisit on your time so that you are able to wander and drink in the sites.

 The Reichstag

Wandering through Tiergarten

Stopped in a cafe at the Sony Center at Potsdamer Platz for free wifi and apple strudel

Randomly bumped in Alana at Pariser Platz!!

We ended the day by heading out to the East Side Gallery, a massive stretch of the Berlin Wall which has been divided into sections.  Each section has been painted by an international or local artist, at the invitation of the government.  Here are a few of our favourites:
